    wheel studs are in, bolts are out (pic)

    Got sick and tired of trying to get the bolts in when changing the rims. I think the design is lame... if you have a spacer, trying to match up the opening in the spacer to the opening in the hub and getting the bolt in - is a nightmare, especially if you are working in the dark...

    Also, since I will run M5 rims for the track I will need to use different spacers, so there is no more need for the longer bolts, neat !

    here are the pics. Studs are from UUC

            Did you have Rui install the studs for you too?

            Those rims are just pure gorgeous...

                I'm converting to wheel studs as soon as I get my new tires. Bollocks to that trying to line up a spacer behind a wheel shit everytime I take a wheel off.

                  Do you work on your car yourself?


                  I put a stud kit in mine a few years ago and have never missed the damn wheel bolts since. stupid design..

                      I just got my 75mm Turner studs in the mail today to use with my 20mm spacers. Ive had the Blackforest stud kit for a while now and I love it even though its a shitty kit. Wheel bolts suck.
